Living longer is a gift — but living well for longer is the goal. In Episode 5 of Mind Your Being, Cass continues the conversation with Dr Justin Keogh to focus on the practical strategies that support healthspan — the years of life where we remain fit, capable and independent. In this episode, we explore: • What resistance training actually is (and what it isn’t) • How much strength training you really need per week as you age • Why resistance, balance and walking ability are the foundations of movement • The concept of exercise snacking — short, achievable bursts of strength work • Why protein needs increase as we age and how it supports muscle health • How good physical function protects independence and quality of life • Key insights from the Positive Ageing Summit on supporting healthy ageing Dr Keogh shares realistic, evidence-based guidance to help you build strength safely — whether at home or in the gym — and explains why maintaining muscle and function is essential for ageing well. 🎧 Listen to Episode 5 on Mind Your Being — available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or at mindyourbeing.com.au Keywords: resistance training for ageing, strength training over 40, exercise snacking, healthspan, functional fitness, protein and ageing, maintaining muscle as we age, balance training, gait and walking, falls prevention exercise, independence in ageing, strength training at home, positive ageing, exercise for longevity, ageing well Professional Biography Associate Professor Justin Keogh is currently the Associate Dean of Research for the Faculty of Health Science and Medicine, while still convening Motor Control and Learning as well as Health Research Methods subjects.  He is an Accredited Sport Scientist with ESSA (ASpSc2) and an accredited Strength and Conditioning Coach with ASCA (Level II - Professional).
